Whilst my profile states that I am a cyclist, in all honesty and can count on two hands the total number of times I’ve been out on two wheels in 2017. Usual excuses for not getting out on the road/trails - time, work, kids - but let’s face it, they just don’t cut it.

With less than 11 months until I hit 40, I need to work on getting a regular and sustainable exercise regime going - if not for my health then for my sanity!

Last night’s storms across Brisbane left the air nice and fresh this morning, so I figured no time like the present.

The trails were beautifully quiet out at Bunyaville State Forest this morning - which is just as well as it meant that there was nobody around to witness my physical shortcomings. Man, am I out of shape! Multiple stops to catch my breath, and at least one dry wretch. Still, it gives a good benchmark for improvement over the coming months, and it was still hella fun!
